| Piscean,
Thank you for mentioning your NDE. It takes courage to stick one's head above the parapet and dodge the bullets of the Atheist wrath.
During my research, I was surprised just how many have had an NDE or an OOBE and then kept quiet about it for fear of ridicule.
For example, a Gallup Poll in 1992 estimated that 13 million Americans or 5% of its population had experienced an NDE during their life.
It is a common world-wide phenomenon that, in my view, has occurred since mankind first graced the Earth. In the past, this knowledge was suppressed by religion. Today, the suppression has been joined by science. The two Superpower belief systems on our planet have come together, in my opinion, to create an unconscious 'conspiracy of silence'.
Therefore, the NDE and OOBE have little chance of being taken seriously, at present, and meanwhile, the needless fear of death prevails. At least, the status quo can sleep peacefully at night. :o)
Morality Games,
"believing an afterlife in light of humanity's collective experience and knowledge is too much of a leap of faith to be acceptable."
It is sad to come across someone who has lost all faith and trust in humanity's intelligence and perception.
What happens if you play ‘The Blues’ backwards? You sober up, your wife returns home, and the dog comes back to life.
